Activation backup

P

Hi,

I have office XP running on Windows Xp. Both products have
been regulary bought, installed on a Toshiba portable and
activated.

Right now I need to reformat the HD, because Toshiba's XP
restore system implies the destruction of the partition
and disk contents, too.

I want to know what is the correct procedure to follow in
this case.

Should I:

1) Reformat everything
2) Install WinXP and Office XP and reactivate both (I
think I have not anymore anything from microsoft saying
the product has been activated, although I can provide the
original disks as well as the invoices related)

or

is there a file to be backed up and then restore, like the
WPA.something for WinXP?

TIA

The files that needs to backed up are:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\data,dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpa.dbl

Thanks. I'll try.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpa.dbl

The first one is for Office and second for Windows. I suggest copy both
but only put back the offie activation file. Windows does not normally
require reactivation unless you bought a retail version of the operating
system and/or upgraded your hardware.
